ABBA, The Winner Takes It All (1980)
^{Key: :[F#] (w: Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus)}

INTRO:
[F#] [D#m] [G#m] [C#] // [F#] [D#m] [G#m] [C# open]

VERSE 1:
I don't wanna [F#] talk, about the things we've [C#] gone through
Though it's hurting [G#m] me, now it's histor-[C#]-y
I've played all my [F#] cards, and that's what you've [C#] done too
Nothing more to [G#m] say, no more ace to [C#] play

CHORUS 1:
The winner takes it [F#] all, The loser standing [D#m] small
Beside the vict-[G#m]-ory, That's her des-[C#]-tiny

VERSE 2:
I was in your [F#] arms, thinking I be-[C#]-longed there
I figured it made [G#m] sense, building me a [C#] fence
Building me a [F#] home, thinking I'd be [C#] strong there
But I was a [G#m] fool, playing by the [C#] rules

CHORUS 2:
The gods may throw a [F#] dice, their minds as cold as [D#m] ice
And someone way down [G#m] here, loses someone [C#] dear
The winner takes it [F#] all, the loser has to [D#m] fall
It's simple and it's [G#m] plain, why should I [C#] complain

VERSE 3:
But tell me does she [F#] kiss, like I used to [C#] kiss you
Does it feel the [G#m] same, when she calls your [C#] name
Somewhere deep [F#] inside, you must know I [C#] miss you
But what can I [G#m] say, rules must be [C#] obeyed

CHORUS 3:
The judges will [F#] decide, the likes of me [D#m] abide
Spectators of the [G#m] show, always staying [C#] low
The game is on [F#] again, a lover or a [D#m] friend
A big thing or a [G#m] small, the winner takes it [C#] all

VERSE 4:
I don't wanna [F#] talk, if it makes you [C#] feel sad
And I under-[G#m]-stand, you've come to shake my [C#] hand
I apolo-[F#]-gize, if it makes you [C#] feel bad
Seeing me so [G#m] tense, no self confi-[C#]-dence

CHORUS 4:
The winner takes it [F#] all [D#m]
The winner takes it [G#m] all [C#]

OUTRO:
[F#] Someone winner, [D#m] takes it all
[G#m] And one loses, [C#] has to fall
[F#] From a guide, [D#m] from the side
[G#m] Makes that feeling, [C#] Someone here
[F#] Takes it all, [D#m] has to fall
[G#m] This is magic, [C#] someone here
